Police said an officer working the graveyard shift pulled over a driver suspected of DWI near Montgomery and San Mateo boulevards. At the time, officers said they had no idea the man behind the wheel was Omaree's stepfather Steve Casaus.

When they searched the car, police said they found meth, pot and heroin. Police also said they found cocaine in Casaus' pocket.

"During an inventory search of Mr. Casaus' Suburban, a large amount of marijuana, black tar heroin and meth was found inside that vehicle," Officer Simon Drobik said.

Investigators said they also found scales, which is common for distributing drugs.

Albuquerque police said Casaus also failed a field sobriety test. According to the criminal complaint, Casaus kept nodding off and falling asleep once he was in police custody and nearly fell off a bench several times.

"This is just one more arrest in a long list of arrests for Mr. Casaus that continues the same behavior, especially with narcotics violations," Drobik said.

Investigators said Casaus is the same man heard yelling and screaming at Omaree on a 21-minute 911 call last June. In the call, Casaus told the child he hated him and he didn't want to be known as his father.

Target 7 uncovered the 911 call and lapel camera video of two Albuquerque police officers investigating immediately after. The police department said there was a lack of action that June afternoon.

Steve Casaus isn't a stranger to law enforcement. According to court records and police reports, Casaus has a criminal record from 1998 to 2005, including convictions for trafficking a controlled substance, receiving and transferring a stolen vehicle and assault on a police officer.

Police said he could face even more charges related to this weekend's drug arrest.

Target 7 asked police if Casaus could be also charged in connection with Omaree's death. A police spokesman said the case is now in the hands of the district attorney and it will be up to her. Target 7 called Bernalillo County District Attorney Kari Brandenburg but have not heard back.
